Chapter-20 The rest that the Lord Jesus gives

img

Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls; for my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Matthew. 11:28-30.

During the time of our life on this earth, sorrows, sadness, difficult situations, sicknesses, shame, tears, anxieties crush us and burn us alive. Our sins are the basic reason for it. Very heavy loads of sin crush us and lead us to the fire of hell.

Jesus our Lord forgives the load of our sins and takes us to the eternal life. When the Lord forgives our sins, all our loads go apart and already on earth we enjoy the heavenly happiness.

We should live having faith in the Lord. Jesus our Lord invites all of us to heaven, in love. He has carried us away together with our sins on the cross in Calvary. We have to realise it.

We are obliged to meditate on the life of Lord and carry his burdens. His yoke is light. His burden gives us happiness. It gives us eternal life. Jesus the Lord sends us his Holy Spirit as our advocate. The Holy Spirit leads us towards heaven. We need to obey his commandments. We have been blessed to the extent that the Lord Jesus carries us and our burdens.

The yoke of Jesus will bring us love, peace and joy. The Lord gives us heaven. Heaven is our mother house.
